Why do have llittle information about the second leg of the race? Is this normal? Thank you for your time.

We do our best to track down everything we can about this race, but all of the information that we get is usually presented to this board by a local or someone that has an understanding of what is going on and wants to share what they've witnessed. It's normal for legs to remain unspoiled.

This is a working site. Unfortunately CBS doesn't hand out many spoilers, so we have to work for them.

We are extraordinarily fortunate to have as much as we do so far. From here on out, it will take a lot of research and a lot of luck in the form of sightings.

Some seasons (TAR15) we have been able to follow the racers almost day by day, some seasons legs take us weeks of hard work to find.

SO given that second leg may just be starting, yes this is very normal, and in fact pretty great!

You might want to read through lets say TAR15 spoilers to see how the spoilers come together. Its a lot of hard work and digging but RFF has the best Amazing Race spoilers on the internet and the true detectives and loyal members are always working behind the scenes. I know of no other site that works harder than we do

I've watched TAR every season. Never spoiled until last one and that was purely by accident. I became hooked. However, I am confused about some of the terms you use. What is a switchback? Thanks for being patient with a newbie!

The switchback was introduced just this season (15). It's not really a new race element, but a name for a re-visited Roadblock. They did the haybale roadblock in Sweden this season, at the same farm as they used in a previous season.

Hamsterwatch is reporting that TAR is having the first couple of eliminated teams run dummy legs to throw us off of who really got eliminated in the first couple legs. Is this par for the course for them to do that?

hahaha ........NO

so you don't think they're doing that? To be honest, and this isn't being egotistical about J/J, but I could almost imagine them doing that either way, to throw all the excited BB fans off and keep us speculating.

Oh that. I think it is a server generated automatic tool for how much traffic or something...not impt.

remember this is leg one.... so there's going to be major bunching early in this leg due to the mandatory "first leg mandatory rest period". At most they will be separated by 15-30 minutes after the rest. Also, given there's only one major task in this leg, it's going to come down to a major slip up or footrace to the pitstop, IMHO.

Just wondering what the "mandatory rest period" is in the first leg? And does history show that there's only one major task in the first leg? (sorry - new to RFF! and thanks for your help!)
